&lt;p&gt;Why do so few Americans remember John Quincy Adams? Bob Crawford, bassist for The Avett Brothers and author of &lt;i&gt;America&#039;s Founding Son&lt;/i&gt;, argues Adams may not have been America&#039;s best president, but he just might have been the greatest &lt;i&gt;ex&lt;/i&gt;-president. He describes the election of 1824, with its accusations of corruption bringing rise to a populist leader.
